Sierra braces for big weekend storm

It’s not quite Frankenstorm, but satellite photos show that a massive stream of moisture is pointed right at the Sierra Nevada and Tahoe for the upcoming weekend. The National Weather Service forecasts that the big stuff will probably start arriving Friday morning and then ram into the mountains through the weekend and into Monday.

It will present a hazard this weekend for those driving to the Sierra. But it could put ski resorts in the best shape in years for the upcoming Christmas-New Year’s holidays.

Well, we’re getting a light rain and cloudy skies here in Phoenix Az, which is almost unheard of.

Personally, I think it’s beautiful.

I am planning to drive from ID to the Bay Area this weekend. I have been looking at the forecast model output all morning here at work, and decided to delay my departure by 1 day. Trying to cross Donner Pass sat night or Sun morning looks like a dead issue.

It looks like a good break late Sun night into Monday over Donner Pass, so that is what I am shooting for. I live for driving in snow, but if the pass is closed, it is game over. I'll probably go as far as Reno on Sunday, then shoot the pass Mon morn.

I live in the Sierra, and at my elevation we are supposed to get ten to twelve inches of rain. It could be an interesting few days.
